Blogging is an art and once you are addicted to the same, you are totally under its control. You have to keep thinking about creating something unique and different from what you have read in the market. When you are unique in your art, then the world respects you else you are just one of the run on the mill kind and the world forgets you. I don't say that I am unique but I am searching for that niche and trying to reach there. Once I have reached there then I will say that I have arrived.

5 Years of The Life's Way has given me so many things and invites that I could have never got in my life otherwise. The year 2013 when I was in India till October end, I got a trip to Mumbai to meet all the Bollywood stars at Blackberry Men Sharp Nights and my daughter went to see M.A.D Rob on Pogo TV when I won the HP Print Art contest for one of her creations. It was a dream come true for her. I bought my first tablet from USA - Google Nexus 7 and somehow I received an Apple iPad cover and that day I thought now cover has come and iPad is not far away too. Within a month of receiving cover from Hitachi, I got the Apple iPad Mini from Hyundai Motors. I won an HP sleekbook in one of the contests, received iPod Shuffle in another contest and also got Kingdom of Dreams Platinum Passes for 8 persons. It was a dream come true too as my parents and we watched both the shows live on stage for free. It was an awesome year if I consider the influx of gifts and goodies in a single year till date.

2014 I was completely in South Africa and the first contest I won here was Incredible Connection Selfie contest and received some LED light and Chinese headphones. The best thing I won was the #MissionSamsung Community Challenge and got the NX300 Camera as my prize. I also went on my first Capetown trip with Samsung for Note 4 launch event. I also won another ZAR 2500 Sandton City Gift Voucher in a Selfie contest by then Nokia. I won a lot of stuff or received from many brands as goodies bag which I truly treasured. I even won the Beacon Chocolate contest to get myself ZAR600 cash prize which I invested back in buying more chocolate. I also bought my first DSLR from Nikon D7000 after a long long journey. It was awesome to enhance my photography with this beast I loved to pet.

Overall, The Life's Way has been providing for me whatever I have desired in my life. It could come from the blog or any other social media channel but the inflow has always been there. I consider myself unique in that way as I can create a pipeline wherever I want, whenever I want, in any country I want. I have to again create a pipeline for my 5th Birthday anniversary of my love, my life and my passion - The Life's Way.
